The infrared counterpart and proper motion of magnetar SGR0501+4516

A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, J. D. Lyman +19

Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are highly magnetised neutron stars (magnetars) notable for their gamma-ray and X-ray outbursts. In this paper, we use near-infrared (NIR) imaging of SG…

A Multiwavelength Study of the Relativistic Tidal Disruption Candidate Sw J2058+05 at Late Times

Dheeraj R. Pasham, S. Bradley Cenko, Andrew J. Levan +13

We report a multiwavelength (X-ray, ultraviolet/optical/infrared, radio) analysis of the relativistic tidal disruption event candidate Sw J2058+05 from 3 months to 3 yr post-discov…

Hubble Space Telescope observations of the afterglow, supernova and host galaxy associated with the extremely bright GRB 130427A

A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, A. S. Fruchter +13

We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the exceptionally bright and luminous Swift gamma-ray burst, GRB 130427A. At z=0.34 this burst affords an excellent opportun…

A "kilonova" associated with short-duration gamma-ray burst 130603B

N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, A. S. Fruchter +4

Short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are intense flashes of cosmic gamma-rays, lasting less than ~2 s, whose origin is one of the great unsolved questions of astrophysics today.…
